It has been a hundred years since women got the vote and the women of the senate were showing their solidarity with those women who marched a century before. But there is another one hundred year anniversary and that is the Presidency of Edith Wilson. She took over the White House when Woodrow Wilson had a massive stroke and was hidden away in a bedroom. She really was our First Woman President even though she was not elected.<br /><br />But the symbolism of all those women in the House of Representatives shows how far women have come. Edith Wilson only had three years of school and had buried a baby and a husband when she met Woodrow Wilson. She was forty four to his fifty nine and driving an electric car with the first drivers license issued in the District of Columbia. She had only been married to the President four years when he had a stroke after returning from a whistle stop tour to pass the League of Nations. The decision not to tell the public and the reluctance of the Vice President made Edith the defacto President.<br /><br />She ruled for only two years and in a touch of irony the suffragettes had been chaining themselves to the White House gates for years to convince Wilson to support the vote for women. Little did they know a woman would run the White House. So the women in white are really celebrating two anniversaries, the vote for women and a secret presidency where a Woman ran the United States.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Madam-President-Secret-Presidency-Wilson/dp/162157475X">Madam President The Secret Presidency of Edith Wilson </a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

It is something we noticed between house store office club car. There is no real event that takes us out of our safety zone. Our homes can withstand just about anything except a tornado and then it is down to the basement where we assume we are safe. So when something comes that restricts us to the home with schools and businesses closed then we are in a new world. Something akin to the colonists who had to revere the elements and ride out bad winters and broiling summers. We simply don't know how to stop though with our computers and phones and our incessant drive to get it all done.<br /><br />The Vortex is about the only thing that has really stopped people. Get out the book. Take a hot bath. Sleep like the cats and dogs who know danger is just outside the door. Enjoy your kids, talk to your friends or parents on the phone because danger is just a window pane away. In this way we are like the mountain men of the nineteenth century who would ride out winters in their cabins or the gold prospectors who went to the Yukon to endure months of black cold. Jack London summed this up in many stories of men who for months could not venture far from their cabins or risk death.<br /><br />And it is not a comfortable feeling. We don't think of the weather as life threatening. But this time it is. End up on the side of the road and start counting the minutes. Was that trip to the grocery store really worth it. Better to put on woolen socks get under a blanket and read by the fire. Better to check out for a while and know that we are a spot of warmth on a frozen planet in space. Our ancestors knew this and now so do we. At least in Chicago we do.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.williamhazelgrove.com/">William Hazelgrove </a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

George Washington did cut down a cherry tree. (Never happened.) Benjamin Franklin did fly a kite with a key to discover electricity. (Not exactly.) Wilbur and Orville Wright, the legendary brothers, together invented manned mechanical flight.</div><div class="associated-container" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">To deconstruct that myth today, all we really have to go on are two foundational sources: the Wilbur and Orville Wright Papers, housed at the Library of Congress, and the 1903 Flyer, the prototype plane they succeeded in sending aloft on that storied morning of December 17. The Flyer itself, including its propeller, reside in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. “All propellers built heretofore are all wrong,” Wilbur wrote in a letter to fellow scientist Octave Chanute in 1903. After conducting experiments on marine propellers and devising a kind of wind tunnel for testing, Wilbur envisioned cutting-edge propellers “which are all right!”</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">When I began research for what would become my book,&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wright Brothers, Wrong Story</em>, immersion in the documents led to a new narrative, and it counters the defining assumption: that Orville and Wilbur jointly produced the Flyer.

To him we owe that first 12 seconds of successful powered flight.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">Wilbur may never have applied his genius to aeronautics if it hadn’t been for a random misfortune. In the winter of 1886, Wilbur, age 17, suffered a devastating setback when his jaw was shattered during a hockey match. Wilbur’s dream of attending Yale was dashed. Instead, at home in Dayton, Ohio, he endured a grueling convalescence and, for three years, serious depression. It was during this enforced inactivity that Wilbur alone became obsessed with figuring out the secret of manned flight.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">In 1896, Wilbur, on his own, contacted the third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Samuel Pierpont Langley, requesting information on human attempts at mechanized flight, including “such papers as the Smithsonian has published on this subject, and if possible a list of other works in print in the English language.” Langley’s assistant, Richard Rathbun, obliged by sending a “list of books and pamphlets on aviation.” Wilbur alone contacted the United States Weather Service, asking for data on meteorological conditions, including wind speed, at locations throughout the United States—information that would lead Wilbur to choose Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, as the test site. Wilbur wrote to the Chicago-based aeronautical scientist Chanute. Their correspondence would produce 500 letters and culminate in Wilbur’s breakthrough thinking. Wilbur built the first “kite wing,” a box-shaped wing with two levels, and tested that prototype alone in a field near the family home in Dayton. Wilbur then built a glider, in his workshop above the brothers’ bicycle repair shop, and shipped it to Kitty Hawk. And in the first year of the new century, Wilbur headed to this fishing village...<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">alone</em>.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">On September 23, 1900, Wilbur wrote his father, Bishop Milton Wright, “I have my machine nearly finished....I do not expect to rise many feet from the ground and in case I am upset there is nothing but soft sand to strike on....It is my belief that flight is possible.”</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">His father, in turn, acknowledged Wilbur’s leading role. In a letter, he admonished his son to be mindful of safety: “You have so much that no one else can do so well. And alone, Orville would be crippled and burdened.” Orville would not make his first attempt at flight until 1902, long after Wilbur had made hundreds of tries.</div><div class="ad-slot article-slot-centered hidden-phone" data-ad-settings="desktopInArticle" data-ad-setup="true" data-google-query-id="CKHRo7-E-t4CFVU7TwodQ-EMqw" id="desktopInArticle-1" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-image: initial; border-left-color: initial; border-left-style: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clip: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 0px); height: auto; margin: 10px 0px; overflow: hidden auto; padding: 10px 0px; position: static; text-align: center !important; width: auto;"><div id="google_ads_iframe_/308522/smithsonianmag.tmus/smithsonian-institution_5__container__" style="border: 0pt none; box-sizing: border-box;"><iframe data-google-container-id="6" data-load-complete="true" frameborder="0" height="90" id="google_ads_iframe_/308522/smithsonianmag.tmus/smithsonian-institution_5" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="google_ads_iframe_/308522/smithsonianmag.tmus/smithsonian-institution_5" scrolling="no" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: bottom;" title="3rd party ad content" width="728"></iframe></div></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">Orville was Wilbur’s student and helpmate. But he was also the keeper of history. The Wright brothers’ story was the product of death, a friendship and a biography that would set the stage for every future chronicle. Fred C. Kelly published&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Wright Brothers: A Biography Authorized by Orville Wright</em>&nbsp;in 1943. Wilbur Wright died in 1912 from typhoid fever. Orville would live until 1948, the survivor who gave access to some family letters and documents to Kelly, a friend who adhered to the dictate that Orville must approve every page of the biography. The book is ultimately Orville’s version of events, which was that the brothers deserved equal credit for the invention of the airplane. (Indeed, Orville’s name appears in the biography 337 times to Wilbur’s 267.)</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">Wilbur Wright was the man who really invented controlled flight, though it is nearly heretical to say so. Orville, though a gifted mechanic, never had the genius to make the leap from theory to application.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">The brothers took turns piloting the aircraft at Kitty Hawk that month, and a coin toss determined who would be at the controls on the morning the plane first successfully lifted off: Orville, his historic triumph immortalized by a box camera.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em;">Wilbur possessed the imaginative intuition that transformed a crude wooden propeller into an instrument that vaulted humans into a new era.

Everyone said they were the same but in fact they were not. The reason people saw them as the same is their father willed it be so. The Bishop was adamant that to the world they must provide a United Front. Their father believed the world to be evil and he wanted his children to stay home and provide him with a home when he returned from his travels. So Wilbur Katherine and Orville did just that. They stayed home their entire adult lives&nbsp; and kept the Bishop company and presented an equal united front to the world.<br /><br />But Wilbur was different. He was smashed in the mouth with a hockey stick by a future mass murderer and went into a three year depression. By the end he wanted to fly. His brother had no real interest in flight and was happy to continue making bicycles. But Wilbur read everything and then contacted the Smithsonian and then the weather bureau to find out where the winds blew constantly. He then built his own kite flyer and flew outside of Dayton. He knew then that he was onto something and went down to Kitty Hawk North Carolina with a gilder he built. He went alone.<br /><br />But Orville would join him and watch Wilbur fly his gliders for two years. By 1902 Orville tried the gliders and crashed&nbsp; but to the world they were now the Wright Brothers and nothing would change this. Even when Wilbur presented his findings to engineers in Chicago and had a five hundred letter correspondence with Octave Chanute where he worked out the physics of flight. Orville was not part of any of this but a photo on Dec 17 1903 showed him flying and not Wilbur. From then on it was assumed they both invented the first plane. All the books said so...<br /><br />Until now.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9nlgJNaUt0U/W_1jrhQQslI/AAAAAAAAQsk/EK2VwZ58IQ8K6l6VNr_5BoI3PMyyZiOcACLcBGAs/s1600/3b13001r_edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="423" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9nlgJNaUt0U/W_1jrhQQslI/AAAAAAAAQsk/EK2VwZ58IQ8K6l6VNr_5BoI3PMyyZiOcACLcBGAs/s320/3b13001r_edited.jpg" width="228" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

I had just finished my speech and was shutting down my computer. The man held onto his wifes arm. The woman nodded. He was Capones dentist. What was that like I asked. The man grinned. Dangerous He always came in with his goons. They were big guys in loud suits and they always had their guns out. It didn't matter how many people I had in the waiting room they&nbsp; just walked in and nobody said a thing and Capone he just put himself in the chair. It didn't matter what I was doing. His goons would pull the guy out of my chair and Capone would sit down.<br /><br />The woman nodded. Nobody wanted to mess with him. The man shrugged. Yeah. So Capone would sit down and his goons would take out their guns and hold them in front of him while I worked on him. And every time I had to do something I would say to the goons. This is going to hurt. The would look and then say to Al Capone. This is going to hurt Al. And then I would work on his teeth and the whole time they had their guns out.<br /><br />So then I finished up. The woman nodded. He worked real fast on Capone. Yeah. So I finished up and then the goons would walk out in the waiting room and look around and then Capone would leave and the goons would give me a big fat envelope of cash. The woman shook her head. Just like that they would leave the money. The man shrugged again. It was a lot of money and those were hard times. It was the woman said. But I was Capones dentist. The woman nodded.

He made sure they had a bit of color. His mustache was trimmed perfectly. His hands were immaculate. His collar snapped, his eyes clear as water. He inspected his shoes carefully after they were shined. His derby was top of the line and fitted just so. Orville would work on greasy engines and the flyer in a smock and never smudge his starched white shirt. The world was at attention when Orville walked in the room. Unlike his brother.<br /><br />Wilburs skin was rough from sun and wind burnt. His clothes tended to hang on his lanky frame. His eyes bore right through a person. Some said he had the gaze of a hawk and was always intent on the next thing. He did get dirty from working on the plane. He didn't bother to wash his hands and his nails would get grease stained. His shoes were smudged. His socks matched but they were black. He was more rugged than his brother.<br /><br />When they returned from Kitty Hawk Orville would bleach his faced with lemon juice to reduce the tan. Within a week he was back to his normal pallor. Wilbur remained dark and tan and could have cared less. He was trying to figure out how to make a plane fly.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

At the speeches and signings people bring memorabilia from the fair and their stories of Al Capone. Here are a few....<br /><br />He had on a brimmed cap and walked up my book table. Yeah, I knew Capone. I was in the Barnes and Noble doing a book signing. I looked at the man. Really? Oh yeah. My mom was his girlfriend. She was a number. Real good looking see.&nbsp; Anyway she and Capone got into a fight. She was real good looking and so they get in this fight and Capone gets mad and I'm only ten years old but these two goons come to the apartment and take me down to a a speakeasy on Maxwell Street.<br /><br />So Im pretty scared cause these guys have guns. So they take me into this speakeasy and its real dark and I cant see nothin. My mom had told me she and Al were in a fight. I think he hit her or something. So these guys sit me down at a table and this big fat Italian guy comes in and sits down in front of me. He starts hitting me all over the place, slapping me around. I don't know who the guy is but he starts asking me whats wrong with&nbsp; my mother. Like I said she was a real number.<br /><br />So after a while he stops hitting me and the goons take me back to my apartment. The man looked at me and smiled. And that was Al Capone? Yeah. That was Capone. Yeah. He and my mom got back together for a while but then they broke up. The man paused and shrugged. But she was his girlfriend.

The Wright Brothers tossed a coin into the windswept air of Kill Devil Hills to decide who would fly first. Wilbur won the toss and on December 14 he went up and then down. The flight was not successful. That left Orville to fly on December 17 when the 1903 flyer would leave the earth for twelve seconds.<br /><br />The Second thing is that Orville Wright had a girlfriend. Mabel Beck. History has told us that the Wright Brothers had no time for women with their pursuit of flying. Orville did. Mabel Beck was his secretary and she would become his secret lover. This would not be revealed until the 1990s when a man who saw the two in a lovers moment finally told a newspaper of what he saw in the 1930's. Wilbur had no girlfriend we know of.<br /><br />The third thing is that both brothers dropped out of high school and lived at home with their father and sister their whole lives. They had no desire to leave the family home even as adults after they had become famous. Orville would finally buy a mansion after Wilbur died and the family would move there but neither brother ever would feel the urge to start a life apart from the family.<br /><br />The fourth thing is Wilbur went to Kitty Hawk alone the first time and almost died. He had to cross Albemarle Sound to get to the Outer Banks. A storm hit while he was crossing and the sailboat took on water. He had to bail water to keep the boat afloat. His brother would later join him once Wilbur had set up camp.<br /><br />The final thing is this. Wilbur Wright invented the airplane with help from his brother. This goes against the Wright Myth they did it together. But the truth is only Wilbur had the intellectual horsepower to crack the Gordian knot of human flight.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/william-hazelgrove/wright-brothers-wrong-story/">Wright Brothers Wrong Story</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

All he had to do was get permission from President Woodrow Wilson and he was ready to go overseas.<br /><br />Roosevelt had become politically radioactive after losing the 1912 election for the Republicans. He had decided he wanted to run again and split the ticket. His hand picked successor William Howard Taft would have a been an easy win as Woodrow Wilson was an unknown quantity who had been President of Princeton and now the professorial Wilson was taking on a sitting President. Enter Roosevelt who decided he wanted to run again under his own party when he didn't get the nomination. The Bull Moose party Roosevelt formed was short lived and he handed the presidency to the Democrats.<br /><br />So now he had to go to Wilson and plead to let him go commit suicide in France. World War I was vastly different than the war with Spain. Mustard gas, chlorine gas, tanks, flame throwers, machine guns. Millions of men died in a span of days. Roosevelt would not have gone five feet before he was cut down. But Teddy Roosevelt believed in action and he felt he could restore his political standing by winning the war for America. It was not to be. Woodrow Wilson said no. He did not want a dead president on his hands. Teddy Roosevelt never forgave him.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1621574768/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4">Forging A President </a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

And that is what gave House of Cards its punch. Now we have Robin Wright, Greg Kinnear, and Diane Lane. Not dastardly. Who cast Greg Kinnear as the new Raymond Tusk? He is not. He is Greg Kinnear playing a bad guy. It does not work. And Diane Lane. Well, she is Diane Lane. And she is not evil. Which brings us to Claire Underwood. She now talks to the camera just like Frank did which was really amazing when he did it. It broke ground. We were in on all his schemes.<br /><br />With Robin Wright it is nothing. She just talks to us and we shrug.&nbsp; Frank Underwood was evil. He was duplicitous. He was funny. And now we have these people running around in Franks shadow. Even Doug Stemper has lost his role. He was Franks devoted servant and now he is doing Claire's bidding but he is a dog without a master. He pines for Frank but because of Kevin Spaceys shenanigans Netflix cant even risk a flashback.<br /><br /><br />So they should have called it a day. Gone out with the show intact. Add to all of this that we now live in an age where House of Cards seems tame by comparison to what is going on in the White house and you have a fairly boring show. And let me tell you, one thing House of Cards never was, was boring. Ah well, maybe its time to dig up West wing....which is akin to watching Camelot now.&nbsp;</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

Hazelgrove makes a strong case, citing numerous primary sources, notably Wilbur’s correspondence with engineer and aviation researcher Octave Chanute… Hazelgrove’s original take on two of the pioneers of human flight will greatly interest flight buffs and popular-history aficionados — Publishers Weekly</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #232323; font-family: &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">For more than a century, Wilbur and Orville Wright have been touted as equal partners in the invention of the flying machine and of the concept of manned flight. Yet in this intriguing, well-researched treatise, Hazelgrove (Shots Fired in Terminal 2: A Witness to the Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooting Reflects on America’s Mass Shooting Epidemic, 2017, etc.) rejects that notion in favor of a more logical one: Wilbur was the genius behind the theory of putting a man in a machine that could soar like a bird, and Orville followed his brother’s instructions, assisting in the mechanical aspects of building the first airplane. The author also points out that it was just by chance that it was Orville’s turn to test the plane when the first photograph was taken. This coincidence made many assume that the brothers were operating on the same level, but as Hazelgrove demonstrates convincingly, they were far from it. Not only does he discuss the events at Kitty Hawk; the author delves into the Wright family dynamics: of the father who knew Wilbur was the brighter of the two boys; of how they remained at home their whole lives along with their sister, who only married late in life; and of the impact the death of their mother had on the children. Hazelgrove also ponders the sexualities of the three siblings and Wilbur’s grave illness, which may have given him the time in bed necessary to dream of flying. For anyone curious about the details behind the invention of the flying machine, this engaging book will inform and entertain as it turns an assumed piece of aviation history upside down.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #232323; font-family: &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Aviation history does a loop-the-loop as the author shares new and exciting insight into the history of the Wright brothers.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #232323; font-family: &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589" style="background-color: white;">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

They all lived at home. They all had an overbearing father who proclaimed the world evil.&nbsp; Orville had a secret girlfriend and Wilbur professed not to ever have time for any kind of relationship. Then there is Katherine Wright, the enigma wrapped up in a riddle. You don't start out researching with an agenda. You come to it like an explorer looking for gold. The Papers of Wilbur and Orville Wright in the Library of Congress were my gold mine. They are bound in two volumes that are probably five inches across each. About 2500 pages&nbsp;in all. And buried in those 2500 pages of letters, diaries, official documents, drawings, are the letters of one Katherine Wright who dutifully cared for Wilbur and Orville and her father most of her life. The brothers never left home and neither did Katherine until much later.<br /><br />Pictures of Katherine Wright are not kind. She is a plain almost boyish woman with wire rimmed glasses who stares directly at the camera in many of her photos. Her father Bishop Wright demanded from his daughter she keep the home after his wife died. Add to that her two brothers who also needed looking after as they scurried off to Kitty Hawk. So where is all this going. Katherine's primary relationships from high school through college and into adulthood were with woman and one in particular. Her letters to Margaret are that of two people in a relationship. Margaret was her best friend and they spent lots of time together, going to the Columbian Exposition in Chicago on an extended trip when Margarets husband was away.<br /><br />As you read the correspondence a glimmer of suspicion begins. We live in an age&nbsp; when being gay has not a sixteenth of the connotation it did at <span style="background-color: yellow;">the</span>&nbsp;turn of the century. Katherine's letters gush about Margaret as they pursued their friendship and the pictures are one after another of the two women enjoying each others company. There is no smoking gun here but it would make sense. Katherine was a tough no nonsense woman who enjoyed putting bad boys in their place in her classroom. Katherine would marry at 55&nbsp; a widower after a long correspondence. Orville would never speak to her again for leaving the family home. This of course is all conjecture, but the question is there along with all the other questions regarding the secretive Wright family....was Katherine Wright gay?<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589">Wright Brothers Wrong Story</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

He had been working on it above the bike shop and now he had found a perfect place where wind was constant and sand abundant for soft landings. The problem was it the Outer Banks of Kitty Hawk North Carolina, a desolate fishing village of castaways and nerdowells that was&nbsp; almost impossible to get to. After taking a train to Elizabeth City Wilbur had to get a across Alebmarle Sound. Kitty Hawk was on a spit of land that kept the Atlantic Ocean at bay and was the home of many shipwrecks.<br /><br />The man in the derby from Dayton Ohio found one Israel Perry to take him across the sound. They set out in a small skiff to get to his boat moored offshore. This was his first inclination there might be a problem. The boat immediately took on water. Wilbur and Perrys son began to bail like mad and when he asked the condition of the sailing schooner Perry told him the skiff was in better shape than the sailboat. They reached the boat and Wilbur found out this was true. They headed across intro the teeth of a lingering hurricane.<br /><br />Wilbur now was bailing for his life.&nbsp; When the main sail blew down he had to to out on the top of the boat to retrieve it. The weather turned so bad that Perry headed for a sand bar with only the jib acting as a kite. The boat was in danger of being swamped and Wilbur bailed with Perrys son to keep from gong to the bottom. When they finally reached the other side of the bay in the morning, Wilbur fell asleep on the dock waking to the sleepy isolated community of Kitty Hawk. He had survived. In three years he would look down upon the Albermarle Sound...from the sky.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

They had no carnal knowledge and didn't want any. They come through history as these sawdust figures without urges, needs, bodily fluids. They are men in derbies and high collars hurrying to the next meeting on how to make a better airplane. Historians marvel that these men were so singularly focused on cracking the code of flight that they did not need women or anything else that mere mortals required. But...like most myths, it is simply not true.<br /><br />Her name was Mabel Beck. She was Orville's secretary, protector, keeper of all things, and his girlfriend. This would not be revealed until the 1990's and then ignored by historians and all people writing on the Wright Brothers. But it was true. Many suspected it for years. After Wilbur had died Mabel moved onto the second brother. She had been Wilbur's secretary for years and then became Orville's. But Wilbur died in 1912 and that left Orville and Mabel 36 years to get to know each other before he succumbed to a heart attack in 1948.<br /><br />In those years a secret relationship between the world famous inventor and the Dayton local girl developed. The smoking gun in all of this would happen during the Great Depression when a young boy pulled himself up to Orville Wrights laboratory window. He had been shining Orville's shoes and was curious to see the inventor at work. What he saw was Mabel Beck on Orville's lap and making out with the brother of Wilbur.<br /><br />This clandestine relationship would go on to the end of his life. It fit perfectly really. Wilbur could still come across as the asexual man while having the very woman who acted as bulwark against the world be his sexual partner. It is almost blasphemous to assert that either Wright Brother had an interest outside of flying into the wide blue sky. But at least in Orville's case, he didn't mind being grounded every now and then for some maintenance.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

But what you don't know&nbsp; is that history depended on which way a penny turned in the ocean wind three days before on Dec 14. That was when the Wright Brothers flipped a coin to see who would fly&nbsp; first. Wilbur won and took off only to crash very quickly. Three days later Orville would fly and a box camera would record the image for all time.<br />&nbsp;<br />And the world would make the assumption then that Orville was the father of flight as much as Wilbur. The fact that Wilbur would follow the 12 second flight with a 59 second flight would be hidden way in the annals of history. The first twelve seconds of flight had Orville as the pilot and historians would look up this as evidence he was as much a participant in cracking the code of flight as his brother. The coin toss would be mentioned then quickly forgotten.<br /><br />But if the toss had gone the other way then Wilbur would have been the man to fly on Dec 17 1903 and he would have been the man whom history deemed to have broken the Rubicon of flight. History would have been altered forever. But as it was, the myth of the Wright Brothers began here.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

I went to a prep school for a few years and right down to the accent I recognized the type. You win at any cost. I busted my tail. I heard that many times out of the Supreme Court nominee. I had heard that growing up from many guys who were headed to Ivy League Schools. Right down to the accent, the bluster, the aggressive in your face style. It is an East Coast persona you never forget. And you learn how to lie early on and you do it with a simply tactic, attack.<br />&nbsp;<br />Its between the self aggrandizing tirades about sports, grades, schools, the pushing back against the Senators, there was the moments between moments which all men recognize. It is a hopeful desperate expression that shows you are just barely hanging on. After watching for eight hours yesterday I have no doubt that Kavanaugh wasn't telling the truth. The yearbook, the drinking, the sex.&nbsp; It was obvious, but it was also obvious the fix was in. The good old boys club would stick together.<br /><br />That East Coast swagger had gotten the supreme court nominee pretty far. He was going to use it bull his way through the Democratic Senators. He was going to cower, cajole, lie. But guys know. Like I said I have seen the type before. Right down to the yearbook and the drinking games. Win at any cost. Lie at any cost.

The streets became rivers with people being rescued with canoes or anything that would float. A levee just outside of town collapsed sending a torrent of water toward the town and the old Wright Cycle Shop. Behind the the shop was a shed and in that shed were the glass plates of the famous 1903 flight in Kitty Hawk North Carolina. Also in the shed were wooden crates. In those wooden crates was the 1903 Flyer itself.<br /><br />The Wright Brothers had crated it up after the flight and thought nothing of putting the most famous airplane in the world in a storage shed behind their bicycle business. The shed could have been opened by anyone in the eleven years since Orville took to the air for twelve seconds on December 17 1903. Someone could have easily stolen the airplane. It was not even locked. But now it was in danger of being destroyed by the water rushing through the streets of Dayton.<br /><br />Wilbur Wright had died in 1912. Orville was frantically trying to rescue his father who had been stranded in the family home. After putting his father in a canoe and getting him to safety he had to wait for the flood waters to recede. Hundreds died and the city of Dayton was devastated .Orville reached the shed the next day and opened the door. The glass plates had been submerged but the most famous photo of all taken on December 17 1903 of the First Twelve Seconds of flight had survived. The crates were water logged and he realized they had been under water from the layer of mud over the top.<br /><br />When he finally opened the first crate he found the 1903 Flyer wet but undamaged. The mud had acted as an insulator and kept the water from pouring in. The most famous airplane in the world had survived and would eventually be given to the Smithsonian for safekeeping.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem/dp/1633884589/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=">Wright Brothers Wrong Story </a><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

The American Century. If you want to see why Donald Trump was elected then go no further than the heartland. Here are millions of displaced people left over from the Greatest Century, the one that built America up and made her into a SuperPower. Mom was at home. Dad had a good job. Communities thrived. The world was Made Safe For Democracy. This all ended really with 9/11. That singular event coincided with the twenty first century, the internet, and globalization. The casualties were mighty.&nbsp;<br /><br />If you go to the small towns of the Midwest where I give lots of speeches and visit the libraries or Historical Societies you see pictures of a different America. In these pictures the towns are pumped up and thriving from companies that employed many of the people and that prosperity spread out like the mantra we have heard a million times all boats rise on the same tide. But all boats also fall when that tide recedes. When industry left America and the Internet knocked profits to the floor and&nbsp; KMart and Walmart finished the job then only the skeletons of that past glory was left.<br /><br />Of course Donald Trumps base will not budge. He is seventy years old. He grew up in that Great American Century. He believes those days will return. Everyone was white, middleclass, plugged into a firm American Culture. Now the last train the US Trump is pulling out of the station and everyone knows this is it. The final reckoning those days are over is at hand. The culture pulled away long ago along with mind numbing technology. We assume everyone has the latest smart phone and computer and went to college. It is simply not true.<br /><br />The people I see are of an old America. Men and women in faded jeans with beards and hairstyles that haven't changed since the 1970s. This is not some great epiphany but we should be reminded that Trumpism did not come out of nowhere. It is a historical footnote to a century gone by that was so powerful it produced a country and a culture that influenced World Events and continues to influence the times we live in. The baton was handed off during the Obama Presidency but quickly recovered with a backlash that has been stunning. No. No. We are not ready for this was the message given.&nbsp;<br /><br />That is why these final death spams are so acute. The glimmer of a world to come scared the hell out of a lot of people and like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz people just wanted to tap&nbsp; their shoes together and say there is no place like home and return to that safe and warm twentieth century that gave so much to so many in America. The Great and Powerful Oz behind the curtain, working his levers, pumping out the smoke, provided the Ruby Slippers, wearing a hat that said... Make America Great Again.<br /><br />Can&nbsp; you blame them?<br /><br /><a href="http://http%3B//www.williamhazelgrove.com">William Hazelgrove </a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

It provided for my parents that sense of getting away from it all in a rustic cottage along the eastern seaboard. For me it was hell. Isolation. Sand dunes. I spent many days mooning about the beach wondering when I could return to my all important life in Richmond and then Baltimore. But one of the offshoots or rituals of our trip was a sojourn to see the Wright Brother Memorial in Kill Devil Hills.<br /><br />We would drive up the hill and look at the monolith that is the Wright Memorial and then at the manikins they had in some sheds and then a replica of the 1903 Flyer and then we would trek down to the all important track marked where each of the three flights occurred that day Dec 17 1903. I would like to say I was lit on fire with what had occurred on those cold December days but it was another trip to another hot place that I had to endure. Still, there was a glimmer of curiosity. Something about those markers under the hot Carolina sun...the absolute isolation...who would come here to fly? And really, who were these two guys in ties and vests from Dayton Ohio.<br /><br />Many years later I returned to research my book Wright Brothers Wrong Story with the same question. Who were the two high school drops outs who ran a bike shop and had cracked the rubicon of flight. I had read McCullough's book and it left me flat. I still didn't know who they were. They were still historical stick figures leaking sawdust from every pore. Who were they as human beings...that started me on the road that led me back to Kitty Hawk NC and it was here I realized the wrong story had been told ever since 1903.<br /><br />I would attempt to tell the Wright Story.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wright-Brothers-Wrong-Story-Problem-ebook/dp/B07BD1YFL2">Wright Brothers Wrong Story</a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-740oAwe6nLA/W4lZcZuRZAI/AAAAAAAAP-M/dWJIwN6Nw_w37A8WTEjJBt9qDlpvPIDLQCLcBGAs/s1600/Wright%2BBrothers_cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-740oAwe6nLA/W4lZcZuRZAI/AAAAAAAAP-M/dWJIwN6Nw_w37A8WTEjJBt9qDlpvPIDLQCLcBGAs/s320/Wright%2BBrothers_cover.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

All they have to do is sell their books. Imagine if Barnes and Nobles had an author in every day. Not to sit behind a table but <i>to sell their books</i>. Not an author signing but a<i>n author selling. </i>The author sells their book and then signs it. They will never beat Amazon at their game nor Starbucks or small cafes. But what Barnes and Noble does have is a physical presence and they have books and they have real live authors.<br /><br />I sold 24k of my last book at a single Barnes and Noble last year. An unknown book. I did it all by talking to people coming in the front door. Most people are looking to discover a new story and guess what there is an author there to tell them all about a new story. Their own. And they can sign the book. It is a resource a sleeping sales force that Barnes and Noble can unleash right away because authors have a vested interest in selling their own books.<br /><br />Look not everyone wants to talk to author when they walk into a Barnes and Noble but one in four&nbsp; do. I counted it out and I sell a book about every fourth person. People are interested in the story the author has to tell and then they are interested in the author. The biggest advantage Barnes and Noble has is there are real people in those stores and real authors selling their books would cost them nothing. I impacted the bottom line of many Barnes and Nobles after four hours of selling my book and the managers were grateful. My sales swung the total revenue for the day.<br /><br />This is a no brainer. The resource is there waiting to be tapped. An army of authors who just want people to read their books. Somebody just has to invite them in. The customer gets to hear about a new book, have an interesting conversation, and then get a signed book. And the author sells their book and now has an active role in controlling their royalties. It is a win for the author and more importantly the passive art of selling books will be gone for good, replaced by a motivated sales force of people going to the customers...authors.<br /><br />Finally, yes it is a cyber world, but we are human beings. And humans like to talk to humans. An author can demolish any online sales model with this simple model. Give the author cards with a cover of his book. The customer walks in. "Can I give you this card? It is actually a book I wrote...

Paul Ryan is going back to Wisconsin. I know Janesville because I go to Green Lake which isnt that far. Wisconsin people are friendly and open. Ryan must crave that about now. He certainly wants to see his family more but the real reason he is leaving is because the good ship Titania Republicana is steaming right toward that black iceberg in the night and Paul Ryan is out on the first lifeboat because there simply are not enough. Trump had thrown overboard everything Ryan stood for anyway and now the working class white voters who put Trump into office simply will not be able to bail fast enough to keep the ship afloat.<br /><br />Ryan lost his base as Trump gained his. When all those marginalized white voters were left behind by technology, globalization, and the internets squeezing of all profit from every mom and pop business in every small town along with Walmart and Target finishing the job they sure couldn't turn to Paul Ryan. He&nbsp; had read Ayn Rand and subscribed to the if they are poor and old then they should die off. They didn't they voted for Donald Trump and unleashed a Demigod who upended everything Ryan and the small government Republicans stood for. All they felt was the wind of Trumps passage as he obliterated all traces of Ryans get rid of the safety net crusade.<br /><br />So he has packed his bags and like the man who sees the party is really over he is getting out before the roads are clogged and the trains jammed. Ryan will be sitting on a pontoon on a lake in Wisconsin by the time the real blood bath occurs next year or since it is November he might be doing a little ice fishing. Cold brew, cigar, brat. Daughters with dad. Life could be worse...like being speaker of the house.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

They should walk out and not come back until Assault weapons are banned. They are on the front line along with their students. It is great the students are walking out today but really you want to send a message to Congress then shut down the schools and tell Washington you go teach the kids. You go through the lock down drills and deal with the potential of another AR15 attack because we are not coming back until you pass some kind of gun reform.<br /><br />Its pretty bad when only the students have the guts to do something. The teachers should be behind them not talking about discipline. I have been in a shooting and I know what people don't who have never experienced that&nbsp; kind of fear...that it can happen to you and schools are now Free Fire Zones. It will happen again. Statistically it is just an accident waiting to happen. Congress will blow off the students. They are not voting yet. But if all the teachers walked away and the schools shut down then the parents would be activated.<br /><br />Now you have parents students teachers in a collective surge of protest. And parents and teachers vote and one thing about parents if it affects their kids they will do anything to solve the problem. So teachers tell your union you want to walk out. Tell you kids you are behind them. Better yet, just walk out.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shots-Fired-Terminal-Lauderdale-Shooting/dp/1633883833">Shots Fired in Terminal 2</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.williamhazelgrove.com/">william hazelgrove </a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."

I saw my twelve year old hiding under a plastic bin and my wife and kids flat on the sidewalk. I just finished a book on mass shootings in America, <i>Shots Fired in Terminal 2</i>. Here is the bad news. When you send your kids to school they are not safe. One in 300 is the statistic that each of us will be in a firearm related incident now. It gets worse. The front lines of this undeclared war on the American populace is the very place we send our children. The schools. This is the free fire zone of our times.<br /><br />Being in a shooting is like being in a war. You do think you will die. Your heart does race. You breathe like you ran a marathon. And you cannot shake the feeling that something terrible will happen to you any second. And that feeling can come back any time. You may think it happens to other people it does not. The statistics are closing in on everyone. AR15s Assault Rifles make those statistics narrow because they kill with such efficiency and intensity. They are the Tommy Gun of our times which by the way the Thompson Machine Gun was called, The Annihilator by it's inventor.<br /><br />This may sound grim. It is. It is a time bomb because every day more people buy assault weapons. Of the ten shootings I studied every one one of the shooters was considered mentally ill. So there you go. Here is the math. 350 million people. Even if 5 percent of the population is mentally ill that is 17 million people. There are 310 million guns. That one in 300 will soon be one in 200 then one in 100... then it will come into your life.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/chicago-bound-passengers-last-flight-ft-lauderdale-shooting">Channel 32</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shots-Fired-Terminal-Lauderdale-Shooting/dp/1633883833">Shots Fired in Terminal 2</a><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Rocket Man is the funniest novel since Russo's Straight Man."
